William Howard Taft Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I support Swindon I am so looking forward to the world cup, it will be a great showcase for World TALENT. Not stupid talent contest, but something to make someone a hero or a villain. Based on England's 5-1 victory to Croatia on Wednesday (which I was at) I'd think they'll be seeded along with Spain and Holland, and possibly a few other teams, so they'll have the advantage until the Second Round. In all honesty, a win against Croatia isn't really all that great of an accomplishment. I don't think you can fairly compare them with teams that have had to play much more difficult competition based on that game. You should have seen England in the 2008 Euro Cup. It was like a kindergarten team was trying out for the Euro Cup, it was sad In club footy my favorite team ever is Celtic but usually I don't get to watch them... I support Liverpool, VfB Stuttgart, and Bordeaux (the last one for no real reason). I think the US will actually do well in the Cup this year...they may even win. Who knows. If there was a year I would pick the US to win, though, this would totally be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggie Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Well, sometimes people just support a team, knowing it will not win I'm supporting my country, Honduras, which hasn't qualified yet, but has done a great job on the Concacaf qualifiers, but I just know it won't win I'm all for Spain on this cup, Argentina disappointed me (badly, Maradona crapped himself on the team) and France isn't going great. They just need to sack him. The consequences media-wise may be bad, but it's a lesser evil compared to where Maradona is leading the team (and no, it's not South Africa '10.)

William Howard Taft Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Italitheater? I really dislike Italian players, all they do is dive, cry, and pitch fits. It's so ridiculous. I hate footy every time I watch Italians play. I'm reminded of why Americans hate footy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pain to watch a team that has people like Messi and Kun Aguero play so miserably. And I don't like italians either, I don't like them on the midfield and on attack, but man, they are the greatest defenders :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt Argentina are going to qualify this year. Luckily Spain, England and the Netherlands are through. Germany and Italy are set to be going through as well. In the 2006 I supported Togo. No idea why, I just picked the one which I think had the nicest flag. IT'S AMAZING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrum Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Huge football fan, soccer on the other hand I'm not so big on. Well that's the wrong football mate. Don't like the Togo flag tbh. After England went out I supported Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope we stay in the same group if Portugal qualifies, so I can laugh when we beat you 5-0 with Ronaldo scoring 3. I also laughed when I read your other post. USA can win the world cup this year? Yeah with your super-team led by Landon Donovan and...hmm...huh...that other guy...what's his name again?...you know the "new Pelé"...oh right Freddy Adu!

Kemosabe Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 For all those who hate the name Soccer, it's still a proper name. The technical name is Association Football. Soccer comes from the Association part. I love and play soccer myself, but I actually never watch any. I'm just gonna pick a team probably and support them for the World Cup. Probably some underdog team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
